The international distribution of film, television, and digital media content has become a central component of the global creative economy. As media companies expand their operations across multiple markets, distribution agreements increasingly involve complex financial arrangements that connect producers, distributors, digital platforms, and financial intermediaries across national borders. These agreements generate significant economic opportunities but also introduce financial risks associated with currency volatility, contractual enforcement, payment security, and market uncertainty. Effective financial risk governance has therefore become essential for maintaining stability in international content distribution systems. This study examines the governance mechanisms that manage financial risk within international content distribution agreements. The analysis focuses on how contractual structures, financial safeguards, and institutional frameworks mitigate risks associated with cross-border licensing and distribution partnerships. Particular attention is given to financial governance systems that allocate risk among stakeholders while protecting the long-term economic value of intellectual property assets. The research also explores how technological transformation, particularly the rise of global streaming platforms, has reshaped financial governance within media distribution markets. Digital distribution models have expanded global access to creative content while introducing new contractual arrangements that require updated financial oversight mechanisms. The findings demonstrate that effective financial risk governance requires a combination of contractual clarity, financial monitoring systems, and strategic leadership capable of coordinating international partnerships. By strengthening governance frameworks within distribution agreements, media organizations can reduce financial uncertainty while sustaining global content circulation.
